Coastal Drive to Wollongong

Sunday morning Daryl got up early and went to pick up the hire car. Our first stop was Bondi beach (favourite reality show is Bondi Rescue :)

We drove south towards Wollongong through the Stanwell Tops National Park. It was absolutely beautiful.
We stopped at a beach and went exploring on the rocks. We found two octopuses! They were trapped in crevises in between the rocks. It was really cool!! You probably can't tell it is an octopus in this photo but it is!!


How cool is that to see an Octopus in the wild?!!
LOOKOUT & LITTLE BLOW HOLE:

That night on our way back we drove to Manly Beach to have a look. It is a beautiful town by the sea - very busy. We drove back into Sydney's centre and had dinner at a Pizza Hutt buffet. We dropped Joce and Rob at the hotel and went out again to gas up the car. On our way back from getting petrol, Daryl took me for a drive to Kings Cross. As we approached he locked the doors... I would say it was very similar to the main road in Toronto or Montreal or Montreal Road in Ottawa (on a bigger scale). I thought it seemed fairly tame.. Daryl pointed out hookers but I thought they just looked like the regular girls who we have seen wearing short tight skirts.... there were police everywhere and I guess you could tell that it was a pretty skiddy area but isn't there a street like that in every big city?
